Hello urologist, I have redness and swelling in my foreskin today, and it hurts when touched. What are the symptoms of foreskin redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, according to what you described, it appears to be balanoposthitis. To confirm the cause, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up promptly. The main symptoms of balanoposthitis are redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and purulent discharge from the foreskin orifice. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are, swollen, and in severe cases, there may be shallow small ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge.
